Question

Two reasons as to why the Greek Goddess Athena is culturally significant? Be as specific as you can please!

Answer 1

Athena, as a war goddess, inspired and fought alongside the Greek heroes; her aid was synonymous with military prowess. Athena became the goddess of crafts and skilled peacetime pursuits in general. She was particularly known as the patroness of spinning and weaving. That she ultimately became allegorized to personify wisdom and righteousness was a natural development of her patronage of skill.
